You are wacked! It was no where near that bad. Damn, dude, you gave it a Grant Morrison rating! That's not right.

Daredevil #512

"You must read Shadowland #5 before reading this issue."

Understatement.

After Bru left Daredevil, I read Diggle's first couple of issues and promptly abandoned ship. After reading the recap in this issue, clearly skipping Shadowland and it's multitude of tie-ins and spin-offs was the right call.

Seeing as this was an epilogue for something I hadn't read, this was straight up boring. Sure there were lots of great characters in it, but apart from tinges of nostalgia from Bru's run it didn't do anything to make me interested or care. Yes, yes, in the dark Daredevil and Black Panther have similar costumes, very clever. Yawn. Somebody wake me when they reboot Daredevil and retcon Diggle out of existence. Also as a courtesy could I get a warning before I have to read another Antony Johnston scripted comic? That dude made even Queen and Country boring.

Marco Checchetto's art in this was pretty awesome. I don't think I had seen any of his stuff and I was pleasantly surprised. Had it been uncolored art I probably would have scored it somewhere in the 9 area. Mostly Matt Hollingsworth's colors in this were good, but there are panels that just took me right out of the book. (i.e. anytime there was smoke or the lighting effects on BP)

The Red Stands for Irony

Yeah, more of the "non-regulars" came out for this book than Batwoman. Granted, both were in double digits (we're slowly building toward the first of my three goals for Review Group!).

Here's the crazy thing. Daredevil has (and I'm doing this by memory so it might be off by a digit or two) 16 reviews so far which puts it as the most reviewed book since Nemesis #3. Batwoman had fourteen, which is still a solid amount of reviews. However, the amount of Daredevil reviews doubles the amounts of American Vampire and Hellboy, both of which are highly acclaimed books and indy books that I thought were pretty well circulated.

wait for trade? same reason that Fables 100 (if not too expensive) would have less reviews than one would assume

Good possibility for that, especially with Hellboy. I'm not criticizing by any means. I understand money concerns, trade waiting and all that jazz. (I'm about to make a hefty cut into my pull list due to budget realignment and the realization that there's some stuff I'm just not enjoying anymore) I guess I overestimated the draw of certain books, especially American Vampire, which I thought was generally believed to be one of the best books on the stands today. The Spreadsheet of Doom reveals a lot.

I'm also interested to see how this coming week's pick goes. I'm hoping we maintain our double digit streak.

People are cunts with bad taste in comics, I just had too much going on to review those weeks.

Verigo, especially because of the (normal) $9.99 first volume has become a major WFT imprint, at least according to the internet. Add to that the fact that the AV book that was picked was the middle of a storyline and its easy to see why it was skipped by many.
